However, this is easier said than done. Of course, you cannot tick off your sponsors, but do make sure you choose a name that highlights the team spirit.

Team colors:

Colors play a great role in choosing the name of the team. If you have blue and green in your team, then it would be silly to call your team the Reds! Rather it would make sense to call your team the “Bulgree: or so on. Many teams make use of colors to come up with a fun and catchy team name and that is an opportunity that even you can look into.

Team interest:

Many a time a team likes to follow the footsteps of their professional idols, thus they follow names like Celtics, Lakers, Bulls or such other names. You can also opt for traditional team names like Hawks, Tigers, Eagles and much more. If you find these names to be common, then you can always come up with more such names.

The element of Humour:

Mostly organized sports names do not incorporate a lot of humor in the team names, especially if it’s a high school or a college-level team; but exceptions to rules are always welcome! So, if you are in for that, then pick put a funny name that can turn a few heads.

Animals:

If you choose to name your team after an animal then you can step away from a lot of controversies. A team named after animals do not hurt the public sentiment or the population demographics in any way.
